We’ve got to hand it to you: you’ve put forth a mighty effort to keep your resolutions over the last day. Time to give yourself a pat on the back and... start doing the opposite of those resolutions. Here’s a few options to get you on your way.
Milkshakes. Delicious. But not so warming for the dead of winter. Enter scotch. Specifically, 17-year-old Macallan, with which Ted’s Bulletin spikes its vanilla Millionaire Malt. And if you ever meet the Macallan distiller, don’t tell him you did this with his scotch.
By now, you’ve probably had your fill of pecan pie. Or wait, no you haven’t. Not when it comes enhanced with Benton’s bacon, Valrhona chocolate and cayenne pepper. Your Aunt Sally would be entirely mortified. Yes, that’s a good thing.
So the guy who owns the Greenbrier just bought two historic hunting plantations in Virginia. And he’ll happily give your group guns, licenses, guides and dogs for two days of hunting—one for goose, one for duck. Oh, and a chef will cook for you the whole time. Probably with duck.
Brewers use yeast. Donut bakers use yeast. Just imagine the synergies. Like the upcoming donut-inspired beers from the mad scientists at GBD and Bluejacket. So far, they’ve brewed a beer based on GBD’s apple cider and a beer based on Oreo donuts. But it’s probably not black and white.
You can get off the sugar in 2015. Meantime, feel free to continue seeking it out. Like in your drink. Here’s the Sell Me Candy cocktail at the Gibson, with Talisker Storm scotch, Bénédictine, burnt sugar syrup, caramel and egg. Bonus anti-resolution: have more eggs, too.
